I have a question on Dart+ West and Dart+ South West. I hope I have the names right but I am referring to the service to Hazelhatch, although I would like it to go further, and the service to Kilcock. What forward planning is the NTA doing in relation to rolling stock? Is sufficient stock available? I understand that there is a long lead-in time. Is the NTA holding off until it sees whether the railway order comes through or is it planning ahead? Obviously, if there is going to be increased frequency, there is going to be increased demand.
